• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH222 - Authorization-relevant characteristic &1 is not available ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH222 indicates that there is an authorization issue related to a characteristic that is not available in the context of the SAP HANA system. This typically occurs when a user tries to access data or execute a query that requires specific authorizations that are not granted or when the characteristic in question is not defined in the data model.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to access the characteristic specified in the error message.
  Characteristic Not Defined: The characteristic may not be defined in the data model or the relevant InfoObject may not be available in the HANA database.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model (e.g., changes in InfoProviders, InfoObjects, or the underlying HANA views) may lead to this error if the characteristic is no longer available.
  Transport Issues: If the system has recently undergone a transport, the characteristic may not have been transported correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's authorizations for the characteristic in question. This can be done using transaction codes like SU53 (to analyze authorization failures) or PFCG (to manage roles and authorizations).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include access to the required characteristics.
  
  
  
  Verify Data Model:
  
  Check if the characteristic is defined in the data model. You can do this by reviewing the relevant InfoObjects or HANA views.
  If the characteristic is missing, you may need to add it back to the data model or adjust the query to exclude it.
  
  
  
  Check for Changes:
  
  If there have been recent changes to the data model, ensure that all changes have been properly activated and that the relevant objects are available in the HANA database.
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, verify that all necessary objects were included in the transport request and that they were successfully imported into the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific error message for any additional guidance or known issues.
